A rewarding academic and cultural experience at ESDES
July 23, 2026by: Imane Doumi - FranceStudying at ESDES was a great experience. I enjoyed the international atmosphere and meeting students from different countries. The professors were supportive, and the classes were interesting and interactive. Living in Lyon was also a highlight of my exchange. It's a beautiful city with a great student life and plenty to explore. I'm happy I chose ESDES and would recommend it to other international students looking for a welcoming place to study ! :)
